Subject: Security Notice

Submitter:
John Pack, Director, Public Safety

Message: The Department of Public Safety would like you to be aware that we received a report of a convicted sex offender on campus, who was here as the invited guest of a student. It appears the student was unaware of the offender's status. Public Safety officers were able to locate the man off campus and notified MPD who took the man into custody.

We do not believe he presents a threat to the Augsburg Community, but we encourage the community to practice good safety measures at all times:

- Keep resident rooms locked, even when you are there.
- Be aware of who may be following you into campus buildings.
- Use the escort service.
- Report suspicious persons or activities to the Department of Public Safety at #1717.

RE: FINAL GRADES - Spring Trimester - (WEC/ROC/Grad)

Letter grades (ABCDF) are not used except for ACTC students. The following grading system is in effect:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0 Achieves basic standards for course
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
P (2.0 or above) Meets minimum passing standard
N (Below 2.0) Does not meet minimum passing standard (no credit and non-punitive: not computed in grade point average)

If a student fails to report for a final examination, he or she should
receive a grade of 0.0 for that examination when you compute the final grade.

INCOMPLETE GRADES

* An incomplete grade, or - I, should be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor of the course; must file a form (available in the Enrollment Center or on-line at the above web address) stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor; and must return the form to the Registrar's Office by the time grades are due for the term (June 28, 2006).

* The necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following Semester.

* If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0.

DIRECTED STUDY, INDEPENDENT STUDY, OR INTERNSHIP

* If a Directed Study, Independent Study, or Internship is to be extended over a second term, indicate this by a grade of - X. Please remind students receiving an - X - that they are expected to continue communication and demonstrate satisfactory progress with their instructor in order to receive a credit and grade at the end of that term. They must complete the study within one year of their initial registration; after that, a new registration is necessary.


* An - X - grade can only be used for a Directed Study, Independent Study, and Internship unless prior arrangements have been made with the Registrar's Office.

AUDIT

Please inform the Registrar's Office via email if expectations not met for a student auditing your class. A grade of - V - (audit) is listed on the grade entry screen. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the student's record as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of - W - (withdrawn).

VERY IMPORTANT

Grade are due in the Office of the Registrar no later than June 28, 2006. To comply with Federal Student Aid Regulations: If you have a student that stopped attending your class and you have assigned a grade of 0.0 or - N, please enter the date they last attended your class. Thank You.


Subject: Research Volunteers Needed

Submitter:
Ana Chilingarishvili, Student

The goal of this research is to examine the psychological impact of war on children. Research volunteers will be asked to do an interview about their childhood experience of war. As an incentive volunteers will receive a cash payment of $25. As an indirect benefit to participation, volunteers will be contributing to increase the existing knowledge of the long-term psychological impact of war on children.
